Electronic
Eligibility
Vehracity™
offers online eligibility checks for practically every
payer offering this service. Just think about how many denials
you'll steer clear of by verifying insurance eligibility
upfront!
HIPAA security regulations require physical and electronic
protection of patient health information. Vehracity™
provides a security solution for your data management issue.
If you have
a traditional software system with a server and data right in
your office, under the new HIPAA Security Rule,
you'll be responsible for protecting your computer-stored
patient data from both physical access (break-ins, disgruntled
employees, etc.) and electronic access (firewalls, complete
network and user security, etc.) This situation presents a great
challenge for small and large practices alike, on top of the
regular headaches of managing backups, software installs, and
more. Then, you add backup and reliability issues, considering that some 40-50% of all in-office tape backups fail to restore
properly. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Instead of having an unprotected server and computer in your
office,
Vehracity™
stores all of its information in a HIPAA
compliant datacenter facility. Located on one of the most fiber
rich routes in the country, our datacenter is a state-of-the-art
facility built for security, connectivity, redundancy, and peace
of mind.
In addition
to our excellent datacenter security, IHCS provides additional levels of security:
|
TRANSFER
We use 256 bit encryption of all data transfer as
opposed to the traditional 128 bit used by the
majority of companies
|
AUDIT TRAIL
Any changes to patient health information are tracked so that
the system administrator can review |
LOGOUT
If
the system is inactive for a certain period of time, the system
will automatically log the user out of the system to protect
patient records |
USER ROLES
The system administrator can control access to certain patient
information in the system by setting the user role. This
feature will allow the system administrator to designate what
security levels and roles they wish to implement for each user. |
Privacy
HIPAA
privacy regulations are in place to guard the confidentiality of the patient
against outside interference. These regulations come into
effect when any information containing patient identity
information is added to a document.
Generally,
for the average health care provider, the Privacy Rule requires:
1. Notifying
the patients about their privacy rights and how their
information can be used
2. Adopting and
implementing privacy procedures for its practice
3. Securing
patient records containing individually identifiable health
information so that they are not readily available to those who
do not need them
Privacy
regulations protect the confidentiality of the patient's
individual medical information with respect to others.
To handle
these privacy regulations, Vehracity™ has key privacy tools:
|
USER ROLES
We
offer restricted access to the system based on user roles which
reveals access only to those authorized |
CONSENT
We
provide a set of patient consent management tools dependent on
HIPAA privacy regulations. These tools include the ability to
electronically store forms with automated reminders to benefit
your employees. |
All these
features insure the safety of every patient's medical
information.
Our in-house
support teams have strict guidelines and policies on
confidentiality and immediate destruction of the patient health
information, once the specific support or consulting service is
complete.
